About
Located in a quiet alley near Kagurazaka Station, this specialty shop opened in June 2026, offering Korean bagels made with domestically produced rice flour. C-Management, the company behind the Chinese restaurant and lemon sour bar "CIAO" in Shinbashi, traveled around Japan sampling bagels and researching the popular soft London-style bagels from Korea before launching the shop. They view Kagurazaka not merely as a location, but as their hometown, aiming to cultivate bagel culture from within the community.
— Freshly baked butter bagels (1 hour after baking)
The shop's signature item is the "1-Hour Best Before Bagel," designed to be at its best the moment it's baked. Grass-fed butter is kneaded into the dough to the maximum extent possible, aiming for a "crispy, chewy, and juicy" texture that is crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and bursting with flavor when you bite into it. Without relying on dips or excessive toppings, the focus is on the dough itself, including the texture and aroma that change over time. Smaller than typical bagels, it's easy to compare several flavors, such as the "Kagurazaka Bagel" with Saikyo miso and brie cheese. This is the shop's signature item, and people come specifically to savor the moment it's fresh out of the oven.
